Siobhan and Oliver share their powerful journeys through addiction, reflecting on the profound toll it took on their lives. Oliver, once a PhD candidate at UC Berkeley, became trapped in the cycle of addiction, using ketamine, opiates, and meth. His descent led to theft and a six-month jail sentence—a rock-bottom moment that ultimately became his turning point toward sobriety. Siobhan, meanwhile, was overmedicated with fentanyl, which clouded her memory and strained her relationships. Both describe addiction as a silent, insidious force that slowly erodes life from within. They stress the critical importance of support systems, with Oliver crediting his loved ones—especially Hannah, whose unwavering support played a pivotal role in his recovery. Together, they offer a raw, honest look at the path to healing and the strength it takes to rebuild a life.
